It’s official! Benjamin Moore has announced its Color of the Year 2027, and this time, we’re welcoming a beautiful shade of green into our homes!
Meet Benjamin Moore Webster Green HC-130, a rich, sophisticated green that feels both classic and refreshing.
If you’ve been visiting Home Bunch for a while, you know how much I appreciate paint colors that bring warmth, character, and a timeless feeling to a home. And while I will always have a soft spot for beautiful neutrals, I also love seeing a color that can make a room feel special without overwhelming it.
Webster Green is certainly a color worth exploring!
Whether you’re considering green kitchen cabinets, looking for a new color for your front door, or simply searching for inspiration for your next home project, let’s take a closer look at Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year 2027 and how you can incorporate it into your home.
Paint Color: Webster Green
Brand: Benjamin Moore Color
Code: HC-130
Collection: Historical Colors
Color of the Year: 2027
Color Family: Green
One of the most interesting things about Webster Green is that it isn’t a newly created color. It’s part of Benjamin Moore’s Historical Collection, which makes this year’s selection especially meaningful.
Rather than introducing a completely new shade, Benjamin Moore has chosen a green with a longstanding place in its color library. And I think that’s something worth appreciating. We don’t always need to reinvent our homes to make them feel fresh. Sometimes, the most beautiful choices are the ones that have stood the test of time.
Webster Green HC-130 is a beautiful, rich green with a classic personality.
It has more presence than the soft sage greens we’ve been seeing in recent years, but it doesn’t feel quite as vibrant as a traditional emerald green.
Instead, BM Webster Green falls somewhere in between, offering a wonderful balance of depth, color, and sophistication.
What I particularly appreciate about this shade is how naturally it can work with different decorating styles.
In a traditional home, it can bring out beautiful architectural details. In a more contemporary setting, pairing it with natural wood, warm white walls, and understated finishes can give it a fresh, updated look.
It’s a color that makes a statement, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be the center of attention.
Understanding undertones is one of the most important steps when choosing a paint color, especially when working with greens.
Benjamin Moore Webster Green HC-130 has subtle blue-gray influences, with an earthy quality that can become more noticeable depending on the lighting and surrounding materials.
Unlike yellow-based greens that can sometimes lean toward olive or chartreuse, Webster Green has a cooler, more composed appearance.
However, that doesn’t mean it will always look cool. When paired with warm oak floors, natural stone, antique brass, or creamy white walls, Webster Green can feel surprisingly inviting.
That’s why I always recommend looking at a paint sample alongside the actual materials you plan to use in your space.
Benjamin Moore Webster Green HC-130 has a Light Reflectance Value (LRV) of 20.2, which means it reflects approximately 20% of the visible light that hits its surface.
LRV is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 representing absolute black and 100 representing pure white.
With an LRV of 20.2, Webster Green is considered a fairly dark paint color, which helps explain its rich, sophisticated appearance.
In rooms with plenty of natural light, this green can feel vibrant and full of character. However, in spaces with limited daylight, it may appear deeper and more dramatic.
Tip: If you’re considering Webster Green for an entire room, pay close attention to your lighting. And remember, you don’t have to paint every wall to enjoy this beautiful color! A kitchen island, bathroom vanity, or even a front door can be a wonderful way to incorporate it into your home.
As with almost any paint color, natural and artificial lighting can significantly influence how Webster Green appears in your home.
North-Facing Rooms: Cooler, indirect daylight may emphasize Webster Green’s blue-gray qualities, giving it a deeper, more subdued appearance.
South-Facing Rooms: Abundant natural light can help bring out the green itself, allowing the color to feel richer and more expressive.
East-Facing Rooms: Morning sunlight may make Webster Green appear brighter and fresher, while the color can feel more subdued later in the day.
West-Facing Rooms: Warm afternoon sunlight can soften the cooler qualities of Webster Green, creating a more inviting appearance.
Artificial Lighting: Warm bulbs can make Webster Green feel cozier, while cooler bulbs may emphasize its blue-gray character.
My advice? Always test this color on more than one wall, and observe it throughout the day before committing to an entire room.
Absolutely! In fact, I think kitchen cabinetry is one of the most beautiful ways to incorporate Webster Green into a home.
Green kitchen cabinets have become increasingly popular, and Webster Green offers an alternative to both muted sage greens and very dark forest greens.
For a timeless kitchen, I would consider pairing Webster Green cabinets with:
– Warm white or creamy walls
– Natural white oak flooring
– Soft white marble or quartz countertops
– Antique brass or unlacquered brass hardware
– Handmade-looking white tile
– Natural wood accents
The result can feel elegant and inviting without being overly formal.

If painting all of your kitchen cabinets green feels like too much of a commitment, consider starting with the island.
A Webster Green kitchen island paired with warm white perimeter cabinets, similar to what we see on this Transitional Interior Design house tour, can create a beautiful focal point.
This is also a wonderful way to introduce color while keeping the rest of the kitchen light and neutral.
For a more contemporary look, I would keep the cabinet profiles simple and allow the color, countertop, and hardware to do most of the work.

Webster Green can create a beautiful, collected feeling in a living room, especially when paired with neutral upholstery, warm wood furniture, and natural textures. For a more dramatic approach, consider painting the walls, trim, and built-in cabinetry in the same color.
This might be one of my favorite applications for Webster Green!
A home office with green built-in bookcases, a beautiful wooden desk, and warm brass lighting can feel incredibly timeless.

A bathroom vanity is another great place to experiment with a stronger paint color.
Pair Webster Green with creamy stone countertops, polished nickel or antique brass hardware, and simple white tile for a sophisticated look.

Looking for a front door color that feels classic without being predictable?
BM Webster Green can be a beautiful choice, particularly alongside warm white siding, natural brick, limestone, or traditional architectural details.
For those who enjoy cozy bedrooms, Benjamin Moore Webster Green can bring a beautiful sense of depth.
I would pair it with warm white bedding, natural linen, oak furniture, and soft lighting to keep the space inviting.
One of the easiest ways to make a stronger paint color feel timeless is to choose complementary colors carefully.
Here are a few combinations I would consider:
Webster Green + Warm White: A beautiful pairing for kitchen cabinets, living rooms, and traditional interiors.
Webster Green + Natural Oak: Wood tones bring warmth and help balance the cooler qualities of this green.
Webster Green + Soft Taupe: A sophisticated combination that feels grounded and welcoming.
Webster Green + Antique Brass: A classic pairing, particularly for cabinetry, lighting, and hardware.
Webster Green + Creamy Natural Stone: Perfect for creating an organic, understated look.
Alongside Webster Green, Benjamin Moore has introduced seven complementary paint colors as part of its Color Trends 2027 palette.
The complete collection includes:
Webster Green HC-130: The Color of the Year 2027.
White Down OC-131: A soft, cozy off-white.
Nelson Blue CW-635: A gentle, watery blue.
Shakespeare Tan 228: A warm, golden neutral.
Antique Copper 1169: A rich brown with warm, spicy undertones.
Wild Aster 1240: A soft pink with subtle gray influences.
Durango 2137-30: A deep, earthy neutral with olive tones.
Townsend Harbor Brown HC-64: A rich, burgundy-inspired brown.
I especially like how this collection combines softer colors with richer, more saturated shades.
I don’t feel that Benjamin Moore is suggesting that every room needs to be colorful. This palette offers different ways to incorporate warmth, personality, and depth into a home.
What’s your favorite color from Benjamin Moore’s Color Trends 2027 palette?
This is probably one of the most important questions to ask whenever a paint brand announces its Color of the Year. After all, choosing paint colors for your home shouldn’t be about following a trend that you’ll be tired of in a few months.
What makes Webster Green interesting is its historical background. Green has appeared in interiors for generations, and it continues to work beautifully across traditional, transitional, and contemporary spaces.
Of course, whether a color feels timeless in your own home depends on how you use it. Personally, I would be more inclined to incorporate Webster Green into cabinetry, a front door -isn’t this green hue just perfect for the upcoming holidays?!!! -, or a cozy home office than to paint an entire room in this shade.
But that’s the beauty of decorating. The right choice is always the one that makes your home feel like yours.
I love seeing Benjamin Moore celebrate a color that has both history and personality.
Webster Green HC-130 feels like a reminder that beautiful interiors don’t have to follow every new trend. Sometimes, choosing colors with depth, character, and lasting appeal is what makes a home feel truly special.
And while I’m not giving up my favorite warm whites and neutrals anytime soon, I can definitely appreciate how gorgeous Webster Green could look on kitchen cabinets, a bathroom vanity, or a beautiful front door. Now, I would love to hear what you think!
Do you love Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year 2027, or would you have preferred a different shade?

Personally, I would love to see this beautiful green on a front door, especially with Christmas just around the corner! Can you imagine it decorated with a beautiful evergreen wreath, garlands, and twinkling lights? I think it would look absolutely stunning!
